Shay Mitchell Geometric Art
I did another Geometric Art piece last night in the early hours of morning, curtesy to winter break. This one is of Shay Mitchell. Really loving this! I love the outcome and it's actually fun to do....

Geometric Art on Adobe Illustrator
On average, I use illustrator a couple hours a day. Every day. Every week. Graphic Design is one of my loves, so I tend to experiment a lot. Recently I've done artworks with Pop Art and Sponge effected triangles, but I'd been seeing a lot of a new type of project called "Geometric Art" floating around on Pinterest and just the web in general.. Type that into Google and see the results, because they're amazing.
So today, I decided to give it a try. When you see the examples on Google Images you'd have the same thought I did: it looks much more difficult than pressing a few buttons and hitting Enter. It looks complex, challenging, time-consuming, and effort-requiring. But, who's not up for a challenge? I used a posted-tutorial on this website: http://connecting4.com/how-to-adobe-illustrator-geometric-art/ so if you want to give it a try, I totally recommend it. The outcome will make you proud.
I didn't have time to have a photoshoot of somebody, so I just got an easy-based picture of Taylor Swift, one of my favourite celebrities, and worked the magic of the tutorial. This was my result:

To summarise: Geometric Art is cool.

5 Hair Products That Have Saved My Life
Hey readers.
Let me tell you the characteristics of my hair:
-Blonde
-Overly-curly
-Easily-frizzy
-Thick when curly
-Thin when straight
-Tearing
-Knotty
Basically everything on this list is a major issue when it comes to haircare. My hair knots, messes, tears, gets frizzy when it's humid, gets frizzy when it's raining, freezing, hot, cold, it's thick when it's curly and madly hard to brush, but thin when it's straight and silky. Sounds like great hair, right?!
Over the years I've tried multiple products and these are the five that have stuck with me and helped me to the point I have literally kissed the bottle...I show affection.
1. Palmolive 'Fashion Girl' Detangling Spray.
 |
| © 2015 Indiana Who |
While it may look like a childish spray for little kids, and even though it probably is, through my adolescence I disregarded the silly product design and used it as it worked wonders. A few sprays through my knotty hair did the trick, then I would brush it thoroughly. Let's be honest, I used more than a few sprays...
Tips:Do not do more than five sprays in the same direct area. This will only make the hair extra wet and oily.
Do not apply directly to your hair, keep it about five inches from your desired section.
Do not spray it directly onto your roots!!!!!!!!! This only creates an oily look after a few hours or as soon as it dries (I learnt this the hard way).
You can find this product at local supermarkets, I'm not quite sure if hair specialists sell it...
It's cheap and affordable, compared to other expensive haircare products. This is pretty much the only detangler I've ever used so I'm not quite sure as I can't compare, but it does the trick for me!
2. KMS California Anti-Humidity Seal.
 |
| © 2015 Indiana Who |
This hair product keeps my hair staying mildly-tameable when I'm in a hot temperature or tropical climate. It allows my hair to become wavy as opposed to crazy curly, and it's perfect for vacations. I bought this at a hair salon a little while back, but ask your local hair dresser to see if they have any in stock. If not, I'm sure it's available on the web somewhere.
Tips: Do not apply more than a twenty-cent piece, as it can dry it out and make it look gross.
To use after the shower, only apply about a fingertip of it and tassle it through brushed hair.
Brush before applying it, not after as it will not be affective.
3. L'oreal Paris Studio Volume Max Amplifying Mousse
 |
| © 2015 Indiana Who |
This mousse by L'oreal Paris is what I use when I feel like my hair is thin after straightening it. I add it in to give it a little more volume and visible thickness, since it really does feel thin. I usually do not like mousses in my hair as I find them sticky, messy, and gross, but this one is amazing. I simply lather no more than a twenty-cent piece in my hands and apply gently after straightening it.
Tips:
Do not use too much as you will totally wreck your stylised hair.
Be careful adding it as if you mess it up, you should not straighten it again after. The mousse will make it burn.
Do not apply to wet hair, it works better on dry.
Be gentle when applying!!!!
Don't add too much especially to the roots, I hardly do any at the roots. Too much will just make your hair look oily, greasy, and gross.
You can find this at supermarkets and possibly at a hair specialists.
4. Muk Beach Muk Sea Salt Spray
 |
| © 2015 Indiana Who |
I bought this at my local hairdresser, so that could be your best bet. I've seen it in so many different hair salons that it's very uncommon for it not to be there. I've seen Muk make different kinds of sprays but this is the only one I've ever tried and to me it works fantastic.
Tips:
Apply it to wet hair and not dry.
For applying to dry hair, brush your hair nicely and then shake your head/hair around and then apply. It gives a better effect.
Don't apply too much, it just makes it feel like straw.
Apply a few inches away and not too close.
5. Matrix Total Results Amplifying Shampoo + Conditioner
 |
| © 2015 Indiana Who |
My sister and I had found our hair to be stripping a lot lately, tearing and almost falling out after using cheap supermarket shampoos and conditioners on sale. We watched a haircare video on YouTube and we found out that using normal hair conditioners and shampoos is basically like applying detergent to your hair. Gross! We went to our local Hairhouse Warehouse and picked up the Matrix Total Results Amplifying Shampoo + Conditioner. Within days, our hair was looking silkier, feeling softer, it was easier to brush, and didn't have any tears or knots. It was also creating a great volume in our hair. I really love this shampoo and conditioner, and it's not too expensive either! The clerk gave us the two for twenty dollars (ten dollars each) as opposed to the retail price of $15.99 each. We love this and continue to buy it.
You can find it at Hairhouse Warehouse, maybe hair salons or online. I don't think you need any tips if you know how to use shampoo and conditioner!!!
Hope you enjoyed this post.

Alec Baldwin, Aloha (2015) - Maybe that's how pissed he got at the flight attendant back in 2011.

Ed Sheeran Concert
Tonight I witnessed something amazing. Tonight I was who I am and want to be. Tonight, I felt more alive than I have in such a long time.
Tonight I feel everything that I've missed for such a long time, and I've been scowling at the absence until now. I felt loose, alive, excited, sad, happy, extraordinary, love, disappointment, heartbreak, all in the time lapse of one single night...
I went to the Ed Sheeran concert at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. We got there at about four thirty or so and had to wait in a queue that was as long as anything (well, it wasn't that long but pretty long). We waited until about six when the gates finally opened, annoyed at the fact that some people were "first priority" because they had been waiting since dawn. I guess while that is fair, I questioned why they couldn't have just let us all in at six instead of giving "priorities". I bought a tour tee and a wristband, taking fifty dollars out of my wallet never to be seen again. The tee was forty five and the wristband was five...expensive, right? Anyway. We walked into the arena and waited at our gates. I went to the bathroom since I'd had a Berry Crush Boost Juice and was urgently needing a toilet, and when I came out I blended in with the line. The girls behind me obviously knew I'd pushed in but we ended up making friends with them. While I was pushing in the line, my friend was out getting Frozen Cokes. The only reason I pushed in was because for the first time ever I was going in the Mosh pit, and I didn't want to be right at the back or anything. I was anxious going in, scared to get pushed or shoved or elbowed in my head. We got wristbands, allowing us to go in and out in exchange for the actual ticket itself. I was kind of disappointed since I wanted to keep it almost as a memory I guess. It wasn't everyday I would experience my first Mosh Pit for Ed Sheeran. Anyway, going in was great, and it turns out we got right to the front. We were ordered to sit down and so we did, until the first opening act, Conrad Sewell, came on with his pianist and sang a few songs until round eight or so. Then, Jamie Lawson was on til about eight thirty, and at eight fifty - the Ginger Jesus was in our beautiful presence. He opened with 'I'm A Mess' and ended with 'Sing' and he kept mentioning the Cricket, which I could care less about. The whole concert was truly amazing, magical, I'm proud in saying there was only two songs I didn't know the words to. Apparently I'm one to bust people's eardrums and pierce their ears, but then again if I'm going to pay ninety dollars for a concert ticket I want to be able to scream and shout. (and let it all out)
it was truly amazing and I will never forget it.

10 Best TV Shows You Should Have At Least Watched An Episode Of
Perhaps the first thing you'll learn about me is that I am unfortunately addicted to binge watching some series of a television show in my spare time. Spare time for me is actually very unlikely for me to have, especially with new assignments and assessments coming in. For me, I've seen loads of Pilots and Season Finales and Series Finales, but here are ten of the top television shows you should have at least seen one episode of.
1. Pretty Little Liars.
Does gender even matter anymore? Despite Popular Opinion claiming PLL is supposedly strictly for women/teenage girls entertainment viewing, it is actually one of the most juicy, cliff-hanging shows that tons of people are hooked on. If I ever hear again that "Pretty Little Liars is just for girls," I will not only shoot myself but the person that said that. Then I'd probably resurrect them (with the magical powers I so do have) and kill them again for putting my ears through that agony. If you've seen something like CSI and want something a little less realistic but in the crime-genre, I'd recommend it to you. At times yes, it can get frustrating, however in the end you've just gotta love it.
2. Friends
Even though it's been twenty years since the launch of Friends and nearly eleven years since it ended, if you haven't seen at least one episode you're bound to be grouped into a bunch of people I would rather sit on than associate with. Does it even matter where you begin? Even though I was not watching Friends when it was airing since I was little (Hint #2, I guess) I still grew up someday to be watching all ten seasons wanting more. In the end you realise that even the spin-off, Joey, should've gone more than two seasons because you want to hold on to the era.
3. How To Get Away With Murder
This show was not one bit at all what I expected or had in mind for it to be like. Originally I had thought it was going to be something like a bunch of kids who take a criminal law class just to find out how to kill people and get away with it for their own advantage. I began watching the show online as I couldn't stand anymore commercial breaks leaving me frustrated in the middle of my eye-widening-gasping-out-of-shock moments just to show me some stupid infomercial about a vacuum cleaner I'd seen at least nine hundred and thirty times the last commercial break. (I ordered it too, by the way, and it did NOT do the commercial justice!)
4. Gossip Girl
I started Gossip Girl thinking it were about young adults that had rivalry among each other and that it were nothing like I had found it. I did not have any knowledge to it being about teenagers living on the Upper East Side of New York City to spend their teen years drinking and doing drugs, going to fancy parties and competing with who slept with who, as well as having every secret about themselves posted on a blog by an anonymous user called "Gossip Girl". During the beginning I had thought about ditching it as I'd gotten annoyed with some of the characters (Leighton Meester in particular during the first three or four episodes) however I'd realised I had nothing else to watch, so I stuck in it and got hooked. I definitely recommend it, seeing as I am still watching it.
5. Web Therapy
Unfortunately Lisa Kudrow did not have much of an effect on me during Season Four of this show. I dropped it and stopped watching particularly because my head had felt like it were inflated and then popped like a balloon. I did enjoy some of the series I had watched, but the voice Kudrow uses to portray "Fiona Wallace" had driven me right out of entertainment and into a psych ward. I did like it but I saw repetition in some of the episodes plots and felt a little frustrated at times with the whole series being on a computer screen. Smart Modality, Smart idea, smart plot lines, smart characters, everything was incredibly clever and I am incredibly impressed with knowing that the series does not uses scripts and all actors are supposed to improvise each episode. I guess Web Therapy was just not for me, however others might like it.
6. The Carrie Diaries
A Prequel to the very famous Sex and the City series starring the even more famous Sarah Jessica Parker. This series only ran for two seasons and I could not be more upset. I have no idea why they cancelled this show because I fell in love with it. The Carrie Diaries focuses on Carrie Bradshaw's life towards the end of high school for her experiencing new things in the world and exploring the magical Manhattan, which we all know already is her belonging. AnnaSophia Robb, that curly blonde that plays the young Carrie, couldn't have done a better job. It was actually tearing for me to hear that the show would be no longer, I mean I had formed such a connection to the characters. It takes place in I think the 80's, showing all of the old fashion, music, hairstyles, people. I think it was just what the 21st Century needed.
7. Orange Is The New Black
Well, I could say that I miss the show since it's been on a hiatus for quite a while. I do hope though that they didn't cancel it or anything. It's only been two seasons and I'm positive the ratings are good. I saw the actress that plays the main character, Piper, in the Nicholas Sparks movie 'The Lucky One' and she did an alright job. I was happy to say that she did a perfect job in OITNB and that I did enjoy it. It's a very full on show. If you can't handle one episode do not watch one season. I can say I was surprised when I saw some things going on in a church other than praying between inmates...right, I forgot, it's taking place in a Women's Correctional Facility, a jail, and it surprised me when I learnt that OITNB is actually a true story based off of Piper Kerman's experience there.
8. Nashville
When I began this show it was originally because I was reading up on how Taylor Swift became famous, and how she got discovered in a place called 'The Bluebird Cafe' which is a small cafe in Nashville. The show takes place, can you guess? In Nashville, of course, duh, but it goes through the lives of fictional country music stars, mostly focusing on 'Rayna James', a fading country music queen who is trying to keep her light in the business. It really does give you an eye-opener to music and how hard a musician's life can be, but it also kinda makes you want to pull out a guitar and write a hit. I love Nashville, and if you love celebrity drama you might just like it too.
9. American Horror Story
Should I just say that even though I had never seen anything more life shattering and disturbing in my entire life, I still continued to watch all of the seasons? Because I did, and I don't even regret it. Each Season of AHS is different, it has a different theme, different characters, the whole lot, and it's all in a plot to make you have a brown stain in your underwear by the time you get up. Season One, Murder House, followed the lives of a married couple experiencing difficulties in their relationship with a depressed teen daughter in a psychopathic house that wants to kill people. Season Two, Asylum, focuses on the lives of people in a Mental Institution over fifty years ago (I personally hated this one). Season Three, Coven, (Personally loved this one) undergoes the lives of witches with odd powers living in a house where they all unite. Season Four, Freak Show, (Personally hated this one too, can you see a pattern?) and soon to be Season Five, just announced called 'Hotel'. Dear God help me.
10. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Now this is a story all about how...wait, what? If the theme song can't make you want to sing-a-long then I don't know what will. My love of Will Smith got thicker than blood after I watched the Fresh Prince all that time ago. It's not a show like AHS or PLL or something, but rather one of those shows that makes you smile and watch at 3am with Sara Lee chocolate ice cream on a Saturday night. Like Friends, my heart nearly shattered after facing the truth that it ended after those seasons (because I can't remember how many there were, but spare me the pity, usually my memory isn't so bad when it's not 1:58am). I think I'll always have that love for The Fresh Prince. Always will. In West Philadelphia, Born and Raised...
If you have not seen at least one episode of each of those shows I might just vomit on you out of pity (???). Now believe it or not, the list could go on. It's actually quite hard to believe that I spent nearly half an hour (I think i'm lying, it might've been an hour) on this list. As it's 2:00am on the dot i think this would be a good cue for you to not read any more words and move onto a different page or post or something.
Goodnight.
Indiana.

AnnaSophia Robb, that curly blonde that plays the young Carrie, couldn't have done a better job. It was actually tearing for me to hear that the show would be no longer, I mean I had formed such a connection to the characters. It takes place in I think the 80's, showing all of the old fashion, music, hairstyles, people. I think it was just what the 21st Century needed.
7. Orange Is The New Black
Well, I could say that I miss the show since it's been on a hiatus for quite a while. I do hope though that they didn't cancel it or anything. It's only been two seasons and I'm positive the ratings are good. I saw the actress that plays the main character, Piper, in the Nicholas Sparks movie 'The Lucky One' and she did an alright job. I was happy to say that she did a perfect job in OITNB and that I did enjoy it. It's a very full on show. If you can't handle one episode do not watch one season. I can say I was surprised when I saw some things going on in a church other than praying between inmates...right, I forgot, it's taking place in a Women's Correctional Facility, a jail, and it surprised me when I learnt that OITNB is actually a true story based off of Piper Kerman's experience there.
8. Nashville
When I began this show it was originally because I was reading up on how Taylor Swift became famous, and how she got discovered in a place called 'The Bluebird Cafe' which is a small cafe in Nashville. The show takes place, can you guess? In Nashville, of course, duh, but it goes through the lives of fictional country music stars, mostly focusing on 'Rayna James', a fading country music queen who is trying to keep her light in the business. It really does give you an eye-opener to music and how hard a musician's life can be, but it also kinda makes you want to pull out a guitar and write a hit. I love Nashville, and if you love celebrity drama you might just like it too.
9. American Horror Story
Should I just say that even though I had never seen anything more life shattering and disturbing in my entire life, I still continued to watch all of the seasons? Because I did, and I don't even regret it. Each Season of AHS is different, it has a different theme, different characters, the whole lot, and it's all in a plot to make you have a brown stain in your underwear by the time you get up. Season One, Murder House, followed the lives of a married couple experiencing difficulties in their relationship with a depressed teen daughter in a psychopathic house that wants to kill people. Season Two, Asylum, focuses on the lives of people in a Mental Institution over fifty years ago (I personally hated this one). Season Three, Coven, (Personally loved this one) undergoes the lives of witches with odd powers living in a house where they all unite. Season Four, Freak Show, (Personally hated this one too, can you see a pattern?) and soon to be Season Five, just announced called 'Hotel'. Dear God help me.
10. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Now this is a story all about how...wait, what? If the theme song can't make you want to sing-a-long then I don't know what will. My love of Will Smith got thicker than blood after I watched the Fresh Prince all that time ago. It's not a show like AHS or PLL or something, but rather one of those shows that makes you smile and watch at 3am with Sara Lee chocolate ice cream on a Saturday night. Like Friends, my heart nearly shattered after facing the truth that it ended after those seasons (because I can't remember how many there were, but spare me the pity, usually my memory isn't so bad when it's not 1:58am). I think I'll always have that love for The Fresh Prince. Always will. In West Philadelphia, Born and Raised...
If you have not seen at least one episode of each of those shows I might just vomit on you out of pity (???). Now believe it or not, the list could go on. It's actually quite hard to believe that I spent nearly half an hour (I think i'm lying, it might've been an hour) on this list. As it's 2:00am on the dot i think this would be a good cue for you to not read any more words and move onto a different page or post or something.
Goodnight.
Indiana.
